Already acting this way??

My 19 month old is already hating the new baby and he isnt even born yet! My son is constantly hiting, kicking, punching my stomach. I have tried to tell him that he is hurting me...hurting the next baby. But whenever even a little bit of my belly shows my son goes ape on it. I am scared that once that new boy is born my son will have even more of a problem :( I dont know what to do :'(

Wow, Your gonna have you hands full!!!! Are you paying a little bit to much attention on the baby then him? You have to figure out whats making him act that way. Or maybe it could be that he thinks your belly is a punching bag LOL.

my kids are 2 years and 2 weeks apart. i was affraid she would hate the new baby too however i told her that this was going to be a special friend for her to play with just her size- she was careful with my tummy then..now said baby is my son who is 2.5, he will be 3 years, and 3 weeks when this baby comes{not planned} and he will jump, and kick on my belly and just be rough- I am not that far along but i worry if he will keep being rough with me when i do start showing more?

Nope not any more than normal. I mean I have been less active but he still gets 98 % of my attention. It got worse once this stomach started to grow lol

I push away his hand and said ow that hurts. when he does it again I tap his hand and tell him dont hit me. then he normally just ends up throwing a toy or whatever at me. I then place him in time out and he doesnt get the toy back till the next day.

Well that's pretty good:)
I woukd step it up and say NO quite firmly and "hitting is not nice" and set him down/walk away.if after that he tries to hit again, time out right away.

My son started to do all this once I started to show more and more. He use to be so loving and gentle expecially during my sickness times. But then the belly started to grow and mommy couldn't be as active as I was.

He just repeats not nice all day practically. I'm not sure if that'll work but I will give it a try :)

maybe that is why? not being able to be more attentive?? or maybe they get this sense that they don't fully understand what is happening but know that something is changing for them and in mommy>?

I think it does have to do with knowing something is up but not understanding exactly what is happening might be his issue. we even got a small baby doll and tried to get him to understand to be nice with it...yeah that didnt seem to faze him lol he holds the baby upside down and runs with it
